    It is really about time that the ASA really start to define some sort of guidance on how exactly key phrases such as from and up to are used in advertising. I had often suspected that megabus only had one seat in a blue moon available at £1, and I wonder just how many items are actually reduced in a up to 75% off sale on the high street.

    We occasionally get a left hand drive Megabus where we live and it's only 1 euro.

    I've been tempted to try and book at that price but their website is strictly in £.
